I Wish I Never Told My Father I Didn't Like Cheesecake

Although history is replete with tales about victims of World War II, each story remains as unique as a set of fingerprints. This is a brief chronicle about one such story, told from a son's perspective; a son whose parents not only survived the war, but flourished after it. After leaving full and productive lives, these same parents left their son a legacy far more important than wealth, fame, or a history lesson. They imparted the essential meaning of the human spirit, carved out of the blood and tears of a world gone mad during the most destructive period in human history. But what ultimately brought this story to print had nothing to do with war. Rather, it was a simple act of kindness from father to son, and in its wake were lessons learned; lessons about life, about love, and about happiness.
